Using a derivation based on two-point functions, we show that the full spectrum of thermal radiation of scalar particles by Kerr black holes can be explicitly derived on the basis of a conformal symmetry arising in the wave equation near the horizon. The simplicity of our approach emphasizes the depth of the connection between conformal symmetry and black hole radiance. %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.211305 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1006.4404 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.211305 %P 211305-4pp
